Politics of Malaya - Zahid: Malays paying price of non-Malay arrogance

Umno vice-president and Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says that Malays are paying the price for being kind to non-Malays.

According to a report in the Sundaily, Zaid said that non-Malays are getting increasingly arrogant and are insulting the bumiputras, the royalty and Islam.

The report yesterday, quoted him as saying that "We allowed them to be indebted to us without needing them to pay it back; they are now insulting Islam and the Malays under the pretence of democracy, freedom of speech, and globalisation.".

Speaking at the Umno Segambut divisional meeting yesterday, the minister said that he attributed this to the perception that foreign cultural norms are inherently better than Malaysia's, and urged non-Malays to respect the bumiputras.

Ahmad Zahid also asked that Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail to fast track high-profile sedition cases to "protect the government's credibility and stave off accusations of selective prosecution".
